Hi
Stumbled on the site whilst wandering the web.
I keep being reminded when I log on to do a brief intro. Here it is . Hope I don't bore you.
Currently based in the Middle East so have had to reduce my hunting for a while. Keen as mustard to get out when I get back to England though. Not long before I got out here I got a variation for an 8 x 57 and am now the proud owner of a 1930's Merkel sxs as I have some permission in Devon and am keen to connect with a piggie or two (mind you just one would be great!) . I get back home often though not as often as I would like. Prior to that a .243 Steyr Prohunter was my only rifle (Which I still have on ticket for deer 'n old charlie at home in Worcs), Works great especially with 70g Speer TNT home loads.(+ Wildcat Moddie - the best in my opinion, light- weight, effective and can be stripped and cleaned easily) However I do struggle to get a good group with 100 grain ammo, tried a number of FL's. Maybe it's the "nut behind the wheel". Would be interested if any other members have any experience of this in .243.
Love the site, keeps me in touch (sane?)
